William Tell is said to have shot an apple off his son’s head with an arrow. If the arrow was shot with an initial speed of 50.0 m/s and the boy was 26.0 m away, at what launch angle above the horizontal did Bill aim the arrow? (Assume that the arrow and apple are initially at the same height above the ground. Hint: sin2θ = 2sinθcosθ)
